The Truth About Brexit

Contrary to what the mainstream media is telling you, Brexit is a great thing for both the UK and the rest of the world. The temporary pain markets are feeling right now is equal parts a result of hysterical overreaction and belief in a massive bounty of misinformation.

The following is a compilation of the best articles I’ve read about Brexit, along with a brief synopsis of each:

Free movement of labor (travel) can be a part of a new deal that doesn’t involve secession of British sovereignty

Although I don’t agree with every point in every one of these articles, the overall theme is clear: change is anathema to markets, which wholly explains their response. After the current temporary market volatility ends, the UK now has the opportunity to make the world a more prosperous place for everyone involved so long as it pursues a policy of market and trade liberalization.

Remember (or if you haven’t read Hans Herman-Hoppe on the subject) the smaller the unit that secedes the more likely the immediate success. Having many cities or counties actively considering secession will be more powerful in the development of classical liberalism societies than the larger States or Nation-States. It can be done legally and peacefully which is another very strong reason to go in that direction.
